Time Machine got its own status icon in the top menu bar in the new Leopard 10.5.2 update. Why is this icon always here? I would prefer it to only show up when it's doing a backup. At the very least get rid of the little analog clock in the middle of it, I sometimes try to read the time off it, or maybe set the time to when it last did a backup. I might be wrong but the time it shows is currently meaningless and confusing. At least I can disable the icon in the system preferences...
